What do you do with partially discharged CO2 cartridges? Do you have to leave them attached to the inflator? Can they be used a second time?

Stephen, There is a screw cap on the tip of the tool for opening and closing the valve. You can open the valve to dispense the co2, and when you're done, close it to save the rest of the cartridge. I usually get 2-3 uses per cartridge on my bike (tires are 26"x2.0" for a beach cruiser.) If you have a road bike with smaller tires I would ASSUME one could get more uses, but I don't know for sure. Maybe some one with a road bike can chime in on that?

The trigger does control the release of co2 from the cartridge, and you can 'save' some co2 if you don't need to use it all. However, depending on the size of a cartridge you're using, unless you're filling up a skinny road tire (700x20), you'll use up most / all of a cartridge to inflate an empty tube / tire.If you want to use it to just 'top up' a slightly flat tube a few times throughout a ride, yes, it will do that. It's not a one-shot deal. While it seems to provide a good seal, I wouldn't count on leaving a pierced cartridge in there overnight and having it be full in the morning.

It seems that after one session of 50 or 60 shots you need to change the CO2 cartridges. They seem to leak if keep them in the gun overnight! Great gun very accurate and it's very quiet.

Hi, Amazon distributor here, best way to clear it as Amy S. noted on 6/22/14 is to inflate the device fully and then either wipe or insert the probe component under water (use general or an antibacterial soap). As others have noted, the key is to clean/wash/wipe while inflated. Pat dry with a clean towel, let the air out via the release button, and let it dry. There's absolutely no problem in keeping the device inflated while it dries as well. //Associated Medical

From experience, no. The CO2 will leak and freeze off the the rubber on the adapter and you will have to replace it before the next use.

If it is a new unit I would try and replace the lid. That is not supposed to leak when you open the co2 cartridge into the unit. Ours just pops out red ring visible but no gas leaks out. Must be a faulty unit. If it developed over time may be the seal is frayed .

If I remember correctly it comes with only one CO2 cartridge and one magazine. I ordered a large package of extra cartridges and a package of two extra magazines. They are very handy to have.

NO. That is only to charge as per directions, you cannot use the inflator while it is being charged

you can leave it inflated but depending on where you have it you might need to add a little more air before using again.

The cartridge has to stay in the gun after it's installed. Otherwise, all of the gas will escape if it's removed. You can extend the useful life of the cartridge after it's installed in the gun by applying a light coating of pellet gun oil on the end and sides of the cartridge cap(the part that gets pierced) before installing it. This helps to prevent any CO2 from leaking out when the gun is not in use. In my experience, cartridges have lost very little CO2(if any at all) for as long as 6 months or more when I've done this on my Crosman BB pistol.

There are filled pellet cartridges that are sold separately. There is no need to buy a new receptacle.

Same thing with mine! It's something to do with the squeeze handle blocking the gas. I was able to make mine work by pushing the handle up when attaching the Co2 cartridge.

Yes it can be removed and re-used again as long as you have a plumber install and uninstall the unit as it connects directly to your plumbing. The replacement cartridges are CQE-RC-04036 - $34.50, CQE-RC-04030 - $235.00 and CQE-RC-04034 - $34.50.

Not sure. I have the lezyne inflator which is a very similar design and they work fine with it. As long as your inflator is set up for threaded cartridges you shouldn't have a problem. Hope this helps.

You can transport the syphon in checked or carry-on once it is discharged. But the co2 cartridges can not be takes on board an aircraft. They can only be shipped by ground shipping.

CO2 cartridges must be purchased separately but they are relatively inexpensive. Also, the C11 is very gas efficient. You can easily fire 6 or more magazines on a single cartridge. Remember to also buy some silicon lubricant to create a good seal when loading your cartridges.

Yes, every time you use a grenade you have to put in a new co2 cartridge and outer shell. The device is made out of 3 main parts the inner cylinder (reusable), the outer shell (not reusable: they break/ expose each time you use one), and the co2 cartridge (also not reusable: the act of using the grenade depletes all the air from the cartridge and requires 1 per each single use).
